Table troubles

[somegal]

Hi, it it possible to have 2 tables on one line side by side ?

This is the code I am using, as you can see it places the tables one under the other, I am not sure what I need to change.Do I need to combine the 2 into one table, and if so how do I work both sets of top and bottom images in?

Thanks in advance.

<table width="300"cellpadding="0"cellspacing="0"border="0 "><tr><td align="center"bgcolor="#c5b48c"><img

src="images/1.gif" /></td></tr>
<tr><td align="center"bgcolor="#c5b48c">
Blah blah blah blah blah blah
</td></tr><tr><td align="center"><img src="images/2.gif" /></td></tr></table>




<table width="300"cellpadding="0"cellspacing="0"border="0 "><tr><td align="center"bgcolor="#e4d9c0"><img

src="images/1a.gif" /></td></tr>
<tr><td align="center"bgcolor="#e4d9c0">
Blah blah blah blah blah blah
</td></tr><tr><td align="center"><img src="images/2a.gif" /></td></tr></table>

In css:
table{float:left}

Never use tables to layout pages.

Go to W3Schools and read about CSS.

Yes it is, But if you wonna be sure that they are on the same line would i suggest that you put the 2 tables inside a main table.
I can show you an example:

[HTML]
<table>
<tr>
<td>[here goes code for table 1]</td>
<td>[here goes code for table 2]</td>
</tr>
</table>

[/HTML]

No. Never use tables for layout.

Tables are for tabular data only not for page layout. At one time, years ago, it was the best method for arranging elements on a page. But now we have CSS which is more flexible, easier to control, faster to download, more SEO friendly works with XML and the DOM and a host of other advantages. Tables are now relegated to their original use.
From the guy who first created the idea of tables for page layout: The Web is Ruined and I Ruined it

Tables for layout is stupid.
